Fully agree, GDM, beyond all of our wildest.

(Although just for the sadistic fun of it; imagine waking up in 1998....)

I pinch myself every fucking day GDM.

Instead of fucking up all the time we just dropped lucky for once.

I know people (Oakie aside) don't like clicking the MEN site :)

Thanks pal. I should have pasted the article in the OP

Surely the rag hordes would not welcome a Sheikh. Because you can't buy success you have to do it organically like they did without spending a penny and relying on a world class youth scouting network

No worries mate. I doubt it'd ever happen to be honest, I think the Glazers are too stubborn to even consider selling. If the sold them for £2b as Fred suggests, how much profit would that be after they'd paid off the debts?

I think the Glaziers' strategy is to use the club to pay off the debt that they incurred from buying the club, then sell to the highest bidder. That way what they get for the club is 100% theirs. They are years off getting to that point and if this downwards spiral continues it might not happen. This was the problem with the previous regime at Liverpool; there is no way the Glaziers intend to walk away with that debt or offset what they get for the club with the debt.

No self respecting Muslim is going to buy the rags while they have a representation of the devil on their badge.
